Former U.S. women’s national team assistant coach Marcia McDermott has been named the fourth head coach of the Army women’s team.

She replaces Stefanie Golan, who left in July to coach the University of Minnesota, and interim coach Fred Thompson. McDermott led North Carolina to three collegiate titles (1983-84, 1986) and played three seasons with the national team (1986-88). She was a former head coach at Maryland, Arkansas, Northwestern and with the Carolina Courage of the Women’s United Soccer Association.

“I’m excited and honored to be selected to coach women’s soccer at Army,’’ McDermott said. “There is a tremendous tradition of excellence at West Point in the academic, leadership mission and the athletic department. I’m looking forward to work with this team, to build on their past successes and create a truly unique college soccer program.’’

Visiting Army dropped a 171-129 men’s decision and 199-98 women’s result to Delaware in a non-league meet.
